Why can't you pot them up Auricula, and stand them on your driveway/ ?

My greenhouses are ftb. I want to get the dahlias out - but we could easily still have a frost, so I'm just getting them out in the daytime.

My tubers are outside all the time now and I'm hardening off my seedlings. The tubers are starting to get flower buds.

See I knew if push came to shove, and with a little encouragement, you would find somewhere good for your babies.

Who told me to water mine? They have shot up so much they only just fit on the top shelf of the growhouse And I spotted a bud on purpinka today - but after having a frost in the week there is no way I'm risking putting them in for at least another week x Tig

I gave Jenny 3 of my Top mix for her container and one of them had a pink flower on it. The flowers are really small and the plants really compact so they should look well.

My Topmix have started to flower as well but are red....well 2 of the 3 up to now are red. Lovely compact plants, as you say LG.

I've planted the 2 topmix I have left into the borders, at this stage I think they'll be happier there..

Middle to end of May will be plenty soon enough That's all very well, but they're outgrowing the greenhouse! Put them somewhere a bit cooler and they will slow down

It's strange, I bought some new tubers this year & I started them all of the same, inside in pots & gave them quite a good water. These two After Eight & Fire Pot I'm having to put outside during the day as they've got so big. But the 2 Bishop of Llandaffs & Randy have only just started showing their noses. Jillyx

It's strange how that sometimes happens Jilly. I've found that some of my peppers are fruiting and some are still tiny. Same seeds, same growing condition. Is that your Spider Lilly there at the front? it's looking good.

Its not unusual Jilly...some have very different growth rates. I find Twinings After 8 very prolific

Took a photo of Purpinka this morning, the colour isn't quite what it said on the 'tin' though x Tig

All mine were planted out into their final positions yesterday. Quite a few in bud so shouldn't have long to wait to see if they are what it said on the box x Tig
